Hey Council members! [Fwd: Short video interviews at Flock -- interested?]
by Matthew Miller 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hey, Council members! I've taking the liberty of throwing you all under the proverbial bus and identifying you as potential candidates to say a few words in this video. If you are okay with this, it'd be super-awesome if you could mail me (off-list) with a question or two you'd like to be _asked_. Otherwise I will have to write all such questions and it will not come out as good. :) ----- Forwarded message from Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> ----- > Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2017 19:49:35 -0400 > From: Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> > To: flock-attendees-2017(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Subject: [Flock-attendees-2017] Short video interviews at Flock -- > interested? > X-Bogo25: H 2.9865e-14 > > We're going to have an event photographer covering Flock this year -- > not to discourage the many photography enthusiasts we have, but this > will allow everyone to really focus on being part of the conference > rather than feeling like they *have* to document it.

welcome, Justin

Congratulations Justin, and welcome to the Fedora Council! Does the 9am US/Eastern meeting time work for you for the next couple of weeks? I think we should probably do a general reschedule to find the best time, but summer is kind of crazy anyway and I'm not even sure what my schedule will look like once the kids' school year starts, so perhaps it's best to wait until after Flock to look at that. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

A proposal: Ambassadors and Fedora strategy
by Matthew Miller 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi everyone. I wrote a post on the Fedora Community Blog with a proposal for focusing Fedora Ambassador spending and effort. For several years, we've been asking Ambassadors to translate the Fedora mission into action — and for event and other spending to connect back up to the mission — but in practice it's been hard to explain exactly what that means or how to really implement that. I have a concrete proposal to make this more straightforward. Please read the post at https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/ambassadors-fedora-strategy/ . At the end, I suggest that we consolidate discussion in one thread. This is the start of that thread. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

FESCo elections are cancelled as list of nominees needs to be amended
by Jan Kurik 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Fedora community, I need to inform you that currently running elections to FESCo needs to be cancelled. As reported on Council ticket #131 [1], one of the nominees to FESCo has already granted FESCo seat till end of the F27 period. As such his nomination for the current Elections needs to be cancelled and subsequently we need to cancel the whole voting and run it once more. I would like to ask members of Fedora community to vote once more starting on Tuesday 2017-Aug-15 00:00:00 UTC. The new voting period will stop on 2017-Aug-21 at 23:59:00 UTC. The setup of the Voting machine for the new voting period is currently in progress. I will send an announcement at the beginning of the new voting period to inform people the voting has started. I am really sorry for this issue and I hope the result of the FESCo elections will not be affected by this issue.

FAmSCo elections are cancelled due to wrong setup of Voting machine
by Jan Kurik 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Ambassadors and members of Fedora community, unfortunately I have to cancel the Elections to FAmSCo due to a mistake made in configuration of Voting machine. Today (Friday) morning I received an email reporting issue where people who are not members of "ambassadors" group in FAS can not vote. Quick check of the Voting machine setup shows there is a misconfiguration of the FAmSCo setup causing this issue. As this issue is a violation of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_election_rules#Voters policy saying that "Any person in the Fedora Account System who has completed the Contributor License Agreement and is member of at least one other group - including, but not limited to the group of ambassadors - is eligible to vote in the FAmSCo elections.", I need to cancel the current Voting to FAmSCo and run it again. I would like to ask Ambassadors and members of Fedora community to vote once more starting on Tuesday 2017-Aug-15 00:00:00 UTC. The new voting period will stop on 2017-Aug-21 at 23:59:00 UTC. The setup of the Voting machine for the new voting period is currently in progress. I will send an announcement at the beginning of the new voting period to inform people the voting has started. I am really sorry for this issue and I hope the result of the FAmSCo elections will not be affected by this issue. Currently running elections to Council and FESCo are not affected by this issue.

[Request for feedback] Ticket #134
by Justin W. Flory 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi all, I wanted to reach out on the mailing list about a ticket I just filed, #134, with regards to the HackMIT event in North America this September. https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/134 Normally I'd wait for it to be discussed, but the event organizers were hoping for a confirmation or commitment on Friday (I'm asking for another week). It would be helpful if this ticket was reviewed quickly so I could coordinate further with the event organizers on Fedora's sponsorship. Thanks for your time and consideration, and I apologize for the time crunch on this. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
